Act 2, Question 6

Why do you think Shakespeare left the wedding ceremony out of the play?

  1. Generally, Shakespeare did not portray weddings unless there was something of overriding dramtic importance which happens at the wedding. They are not interesting enough.

  2. Maybe Shakespeare thought there was much more important to write about other than mushy gooshy vows from a 14 year old.

  3. He probably left out the wedding so that the actors would feel just a bit less awkward. That, or he just thought weddings were boring.

  4. He may have left it out because either 1 it was too boring, 2 he didn't want to write vows from a 14 teen year old, or 3 it wasn't dramatic enough, or 4 he didn't want to watch two men, back in his time, get married.

  5. I believe that he didn't either want to make people get faked married, or he just thought it wasn't that importent.
